About
Odyssey Media’s IN THE BLACK™ is back, celebrating its fifth-consecutive year, sponsored by The Coca-Cola Company’s 5by20 initiative. The 5by20 initiative seeks to empower five million women entrepreneurs by the year 2020. This year, attendees can expect a bold, fierce and unforgettable experience with digital workshops, resource guides and engaging conversations.
Why IN THE BLACK™? Because every woman needs…
- A little black dress that quickly converts you from home-office CEO in sweats to serious, fun-loving, business owner ready to conquer the world;
- A little black book with a great list of colleagues, family and friends that offer support, advice and guidance;
- A black box full of tools and resources;
- A black bag full of products that make you feel beautiful;
- A lot of black ink on your balance sheet, helping to keep your eye on profit and sustainability.
